The KHE/HeavyTools Ruler -  just how long is that rear triangle?
That's one long bike! Looks ideal for the taller rider (or are all newschool's this length?)

Will you be getting SuperFox stickers? It just seems to me that a SuperFox is a rarer beast than a TA, why not go for original livery.
But then again it's a working bike as you say, doesn't really matter about stickers, great to hear you'll be out racing on it!

the khe is quite short, it just looks long because there are no tyres on & the wheel is at the back. as for the superfox, it cost me nothing & to get stickers will cost at least £20 which i can find better things to spend my money on rather than a set of stickers. its just gonna be fun to ride as all my bikes are as thats what they were all built for, not to be kept in a loft & polished :LolLolLolLol:

the race frame is a superfox, john who used to race for them had a look & its exactly the same down to the serial number as his pride & joy in his house

your point is?
Title: Re: so close to finishing...

its a different frame buddy.

i have some close up pics of my mate's superfox that i had powdercoated for him on my pc at home, i will post the pics after work.

well this is an 83 superfox. the silverfox was very similar to super. might have even been the same frameset but lower spec parts.
yours must be a later superfox, if it is one, as i think they dropped the gussets after time

they are great frames though, if not a little spindly.

the rear drops on yours dont look foxy though
